Vein Treatments - Cambridge and Peterborough

Vein Treatment on the Face and Legs

Unsightly veins can be treated in all parts of the body. At BodyLaser Clinic laser light is used to erase red or blue veins - without needles or injections. In addition, we are one of a few clinics in the UK to have the Syris Light illumination system. This cross-polarized, magnified, halogen illuminated device allows us to clearly visualize even your finest blood vessels, including those that cause unsightly redness but which individually are invisible to the naked eye. Getting rid of veins is safe and easy. Laser vein treatment is available at our Cambridge and Peterborough clinics.

What types of veins can be treated by laser?

At our laser clinics in Cambridge and Peterborough we can treat both red veins and blue veins with excellent results. Facial veins, thread veins, spider veins and leg veins respond well to treatment. Small facial veins (telangiectasia) and spider veins can be treated quickly without bruising - often one treatment is sufficient for these. Large blue leg veins can also be treated with excellent results. In men and women unwanted red blood vessels on the nose and face, including those associated with acne rosacea and with sun damage, are successfully treated. Cherry hemangiomas (sometimes called "Campbell de Morgan spots", which are little red dots on the trunk, arms and legs), and spider hemangiomas (sometimes called "broken capillaries" or "broken blood vessels") on the face , upper chest and other parts of the body are other commonly treated lesions.

What does laser treatment for veins feel like?

At BodyLaser Clinic our lasers cool the skin before and after each pulse of laser light. Most people experience a slight sting but this is quickly alleviated by the skin cooling system. After the laser treatment pain is minimal to nonexistent. You can resume most normal activities immediately.

What are the benefits of laser treatment compared to alternative methods?

The primary benefits of laser removal of unwanted blood vessels are:

• Larger areas may be treated with less discomfort than with sclerotherapy or vein stripping.
• Our special CoolGlide vascular laser combines speed, comfort and long lasting results.
• Works on any area of the body where you wish to have blood vessels removed.
• Small blood vessels which are difficult or impossible to treat with sclerotherapy respond very well to the CoolGlide vascular laser.
• Because only a beam of pure laser light is used when the laser treats an unwanted vessel, there is less risk of bruising compared with injection sclerotherapy which breaks the skin and the wall of the blood vessel, then places an irritating solution in the bloodstream of the unwanted vessel.
• As the skin is not broken, there is no need for bandages, tape or support stockings after CoolGlide vascular laser treatment of blood vessels.
• CoolGlide laser removal of unwanted blood vessels offers long lasting results with minimal discomfort and little or no downtime after the treatment.

What are the possible side effects?

Although most clients report few if any side effects from laser treatment, slight reddening or temporary swelling of the skin in the treated area is possible. This disappears quickly. Leg veins may exhibit slight bruising for some days after treatment.

What happens after laser treatment?

Clients generally resume most normal activities immediately after vein treatment. However, with leg vein treatment we recommend that you avoid vigorous activities such as strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours after laser treatment.
